scRNA-seq Biocurator/Ontologist (Cambridge, UK)

We are seeking to recruit a new member to our team at the University of Cambridge to contribute to the FlyBase Drosophila database (https://flybase.org). If you are looking for a fulfilling, fly-related career away from the bench, and enjoy the challenge of organizing complex data and presenting it clearly and concisely, then this is the job for you!

A large and growing community of Drosophila biologists is producing single cell transcriptomic data with potentially high value to the research community. This includes both individual labs and also large-scale community efforts focussed on sharing and annotating single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) datasets covering the whole fly, such as Fly Cell Atlas (https://flycellatlas.org/). The successful applicant will work closely with the Gene Expression Team (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/about/people/irene-papatheodorou) at EMBL-EBI, in particular those members responsible for the Single Cell Expression Atlas (scAtlas) (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/gxa/sc/home), in order to maximise the usefulness of the scRNA-seq data to the community.

The work will include:

- Identifying and prioritising published Drosophila scRNA-seq datasets for curation

- Curation of scRNA-seq experimental metadata into the EMBL-EBI scAtlas and/or FlyBase as appropriate

- Working with biocurators and software developers at FlyBase and the EMBL-EBI scAtlas to: harmonise the scRNA-seq data models used at each database, provide access to scRNA-seq data on FlyBase, add links between FlyBase and the scAtlas

- Extending the Drosophila Anatomy Ontology as needed to provide accurate terms for annotation of scRNA-seq data

- Working with EMBL-EBI Gene Expression Team members to help develop interactive fly anatomograms.

Closing date: 4th November 2020

-FlyBase biocurators identify genetic, genomic and functional data from scientific articles concerning the model organism Drosophila melanogaster and record these data in a systematic manner. We also develop and improve several ontologies - these are sets of defined terms, organized into logical hierarchies, which we use to describe phenotypes and other curated data. Additional activities of FlyBase curators include: developing strategies to improve data curation; helping to improve data display/querying on the website; and interacting with the research community through HelpMail, surveys and presentations/workshops at research conferences. Curators also have the opportunity to develop programming skills and contribute to FlyBase publications.
